Abstract

“A spectre is haunting Europe: the spectre of communism” is how the Communist Manifesto famously starts. A spectre is now haunting Europe, the spectre of the credit unions. The difference is that Marx and Engels saw that spectre as a living force, capable of materialising and transforming reality, while whether the spectre in the second case will be able to materialise into an alternative capable of challenging the supremacy of commercial banking is doubtful. Is there a significant difference between cooperative and commercial banking? This is the question that want to answer in this chapter. The chapter identifies the possible existence of a “phantom effect” in the image projected by financial cooperatives. The Monetary Social Accounting is proposed as an antidote to this effect.
